When the Despicable Me producer, John Cohen, was asked about the matter, the producers explains that "A lot of times it sounds like it’s gibberish, a lot of times you hear a little bit of French. You hear all the kinds of languages being incorporated into the way they speak,"

Do they really speaks Filipino?

The debate whether they do or do not is actually pointless, if someone heard that they do speaks tagalog, personally, I believe that it is something to be joyful about.
